SENSOR ASSEMBLY WITH CLEANING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18178656 titled 'SENSOR ASSEMBLY WITH CLEANING
The sensor assembly described in the patent application consists of a bracket, a blower, and a sensor, all mounted and supported by the bracket. The bracket is a single piece and includes a duct that receives airflow directly from the blower, with a duct outlet directing the airflow onto the sensor window.
- The sensor assembly includes a bracket, blower, and sensor.
- The bracket is a single piece and supports the blower and sensor.
- A duct in the bracket receives airflow from the blower.
- The duct outlet directs airflow onto the sensor window.
- The sensor window is part of the sensor mounted on the bracket.
Potential Applications: - HVAC systems - Environmental monitoring - Industrial automation
Problems Solved: - Efficient airflow distribution - Secure mounting for sensor and blower - Simplified assembly process
Benefits: - Improved sensor accuracy - Enhanced airflow control - Sturdy and reliable design
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Sensor Assembly for HVAC Systems" This technology can be used in HVAC systems to improve airflow control and sensor accuracy, leading to more efficient and reliable operation.
